    Derivatives measure the slope of a function at a point and can be used to find maximum and minimum values. The power rule states that the derivative of x^n is nx^(n-1) and is one of several derivative rules that can be used to take the derivative of functions. This document introduces derivatives and how to calculate them using rules in order to find maxima and minima.
